  Hello, I was most fortune to see the CBC Broadcast of Wrath on Nov 14 and I could not leave my seat, it just blew me away and left me wanting more. Jon has gone above and beyond the call of duty on this one and I must say Bravo to Jon and all involved. It will replay this Saturday and I plan to catch it again. It gives a whole new dimension on the film Beowulf and after seeing Wrath you just have to watch Beowulf again. The blood and sweat that went into this film is out of this world!!! Dreams can become a reality and this documentary proves it proof positive. Be prepared to be spell bound. I just cannot say enough great things about Wrath!!!! Alexandria

  I saw the CBC broadcast of Wrath of Gods and it was absolutely fantastic. This documentary tells the behind scenes story of all that the cast and crew went through in the filming of Beowulf and Grendel. You had to see it to believe it. I enjoyed every last minute of Wrath of Gods and went from Oh No! to laughing out loud. It left me wanting to see the complete feature length version that is soon to be released on DVD. Jon Gustafsson is to be commended for capturing the filming of Beowulf and Grendel and turning that footage into a superb film all its own. Wrath of gods is a must see piece of entertainment bliss!!!!!!!!! Ruby

  Wrath of Gods is an amazing film. Even if you haven't seen Beowulf and Grendel you can't help but be awe struck by the tenacity and perseverance by cast and crew to get it filmed. Kudo's to Jon for documenting this Herculean effort and doing so in such an awesome and entertaining way. The performances by the cast in B&G were tremendous, especially considering the circumstances under which they were filming. The interviews in Wrath of Gods were great. I really enjoyed hearing the different actors discuss their roles. The hour long interview with Gerard Butler is terrific. I can't wait for Wrath of Gods to finally be available on DVD. It can't be soon enough for me! ml

  I attended the Oxford International Film Festival on Friday, April 6, 2007. It was a memorable experience. I so enjoyed Wrath of Gods and can't wait for the DVD. I knew nature had wreaked havoc during the filming of Beowulf & Grendel just from the B&G DVD but Jon showed us just how bad it really was. Jon did a fantastic job of film-making/narrating and his comments afterward were very informative. He is so personable. I had traveled to Canada from Michigan last year to see the movie Beowulf & Grendel....what a treat! When I heard that Wrath of Gods was being shown at the Oxford IFF....I had to go and it's a 6 hour drive from Michigan. I wasn't disappointed! Congratulations to all involved in this and to Jon and Gerry Butler for believing in Wrath.

  Great doc!!!! about the making of a GREAT MOVIE!!! Wrath of Gods is about the agonies the cast and crew had to endure during the making of Sturla Gunnarsson's wondrously magical film, 'Beowulf and Grendel, (and it does in no way compare to Lost in LaMancha Terry Gilliam's lost tale of Don Quixote). Watching the movie, I could feel the icy rain and the northern wind during the movie and they are even more evident in Wrath. As an actor and sometimes director myself, I could immediately relate to everything they were going through but can't image how they were able to endure and still produce such a wonderful, beautiful and thoroughly entertaining movie. It's breathtakingly beautiful and Beowulf (Gerry Butler) and Selma (Sarah Polley) give wonderfully truthful and memorable performances. If you haven't seen Sturla Gunnarrson's 'Beowulf and Grendel' don't walk but run to your local video store and buy a copy, otherwise you'll be kicking yourself as you'll need to see it again and again.
